regret giving my baby mobile phone

I'm feeling really regretful and worried right now. When my baby was around 7-8 months old, I started giving him access to a mobile phone because it was the only thing that seemed to keep him quiet. Now he's 1.5 years old, and I’m facing several issues that I think might be related to this decision: - He doesn't want to eat unless he's holding a mobile phone. - He doesn't speak as fluently as other kids his age. - He cries a lot when he can't have his mobile phone. - He doesn't seem interested in talking to other people and almost always cries if he can't hold the phone. I feel terrible and don't know what to do to fix this.... Has anyone else gone through something similar? What can I do to help him develop better habits and improve his communication skills?

I believe it can be fixed. But need to be consistent. Bring him outdoors often, outdoor activities like cycling, playground, or those painting activities in shopping malls or indoor playground if its hot outside.

But we parents especially when we need time to do some wrk, we cn give them some limited screen time. No phones pls if cn bcz they will watch it too close and itll be difficult to get it frm their hands when the time is up. Its better if its the telly or screen projector so once time its up, you cn off it. But mz inform him beforehand that he can only watch within certain timing like say just half an hr or anything. Like maybe only once or twice a day and he can choose which timing. All up to you mummy!! Set rules. Probably get him to watch educational ones like bluey or Vooks etc. You got this
